the hardshps resulting from their delay in dealing with
the question He urged that the judicial decisions OF the
commissioners should affect the present years rent.
Mr. Gosohen hailed with satisfaction Mr. ParnelTs

He urged upon the Government that II they would
give favorable 10 some means or
evicted tenants on fair and
equitable terms, we'll ms TO the
adoption OF some plan by which tenants now being
evIcted could obtain equitable Jurisdiction as to arrears
the bill would stand good Chance OF being passed with
out difficulty.
The House then entered into committee pro torma.
